Pet Mover... Or Cargo Service??

[Radiopeg]

We shipped our pets direct to Kona. That was the only place on BI that could take them. The animals must go from mainland direct to the place of release. You can not have them land at Honolulu and get transferred to a flight to Hilo. You have read all the fine print on the county ag site? http://hawaii.gov/hdoa/ai/aqs/info/?searchterm=None In April we paid $250 per pet on United from Seattle to Kona. We transferred at SFO, so for the ag dept SFO to Kona with the proper paperwork was no problem. At that time, only United was shipping pets, and the owner had to be on the flight. (April of this year) The Kona vet who meets the flights is very helpful, and I have already forgotten her name, but is listed in the Ag info because the vet here has to have the info and agree to meet and check the animal. She also helped us fill out the paperwork. Do exactly like she says. We had no problems except the extra security check at Sea-Tac. The had us take out each cat from the carrier in the middle of the terminal. If they had got loose, we would have never seen them again. We had a rough landing and the dog had a skinned nose, but all were otherwise just fine from the long day.

Life goes on, with you or without you.
